The fisheries are situated in a beautiful Angus glen and are run by the
Lintrathen Angling Club. Lintrathen, which is boat fishing only, has twenty two boats,
including two wheely boats for the disabled and is stocked on a regular base with both
brown and rainbow trout. Surrounded by trees it is a natural habitat for wildlife
including deer and ospreys and Lintrathen gives the angler a feeling of peace and
tranquillity as well as the excitement of catching quality fish. The Backwater, situated
higher up the glen gives the purist a chance to fly fish the banks for wonderful wild
brown trout with an average weight of eight ounces. Both lochs are regularly visited by
clubs and individual anglers from the furthest points in the country and Lintrathen has
been a venue for the Commonwealth Championship.

Stocking. This is done on a regular bases on Lintrathen, with the
Backwater being left to natural wild brownies.

Facilities. There is a boathouse and toilets, including toilets for the disabled and
wheely boats are available at Lintrathen. There is a fishing hut and toilets at Backwater.

New Club members are always welcome and considerable savings can be made on all sessions

Directions. The boathouse at Lintrathen, from which permits for the
Backwater are purchased, is easily reached from Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen. Coming from
the Perth/Blairgowrie direction five hundred yards past Peel farm there is an anglers car
park on the right. Across from the car park is a gate/path leading down to the fishing
hut. Coming from the Kingoldrum/Kirriemuir direction the entrance to the car park is one
mile past Bridgend of Lintrathen. Please ignore the entrance to the large house which is
presently up for rent and has nothing to do with the fishing.
